You might want to be tested for auto-immune antibodies. I found out I have Sjogren's Syndrome. I belong to a Sjogren's forum--a lot of people say that debilitating fatigue is one of their main symptoms. Auto-immune is not something that doctors usually check for.

Also, IBS and digestive problems are a common symptom for Sjogren's, as are achy joints.

Did they check just your TSH levels, or did they also test the thyroid hormones free T-3 and free T-4? The reference range for TSH has changed, but some labs still use the older wider range. So even if they tell you you're in range, double check the numbers, and ask questions.
